Lattice Degeneration
Lattice degeneration is thinning of the retina’s outer edge marked by crisscross white lines; usually symptom-free but can create holes or tears that raise detachment risk.
Usher syndrome combines inherited hearing loss with progressive night and peripheral vision decline from retinitis pigmentosa, often accompanied by balance problems.

"Thanks to Dr. Rosenfarb's acupuncture, my vision stabilized and I can see faces in the dark again."
After 2.5 years of acupuncture care with Dr. Rosenfarb, my Usher type 2 vision stabilized, visual field expanded to near full, and night blindness eased; I can make out faces in dim rooms and outdoors at dusk.
Common questions we get asked about Usher Syndrome.
There is currently no cure, but multidisciplinary care, including audiology, low-vision rehab, and emerging gene or RNA therapies, can help people retain function and independence.
Newborn hearing screens often reveal Type 1 or Type 2 shortly after birth; genetic testing and eye exams that monitor night vision can confirm a diagnosis even before noticeable vision loss.
Not necessarily. Vision loss varies by type and individual genetics. Many retain useful central vision for decades, especially with proactive eye care and lifestyle adjustments.
Usher syndrome includes retinitis pigmentosa plus hearing loss (and sometimes balance issues). Retinitis pigmentosa on its own affects only vision.
Acupuncture, microcurrent stimulation, targeted nutrition, and other supportive treatments aim to improve retinal metabolism and quality of life, but they should complement, not replace, standard medical care.
